Restaurants-a comprehensive list...sort of

There was a post recently on Trip Advisor about the lack of “nice restaurants” near Seabrook Island and Kiawah. Perhaps the poster was looking for 5-star restaurants, which can be found a short drive away in Charleston, the culinary capital of the South.

Regardless if you’re looking for quick and casual dining or fine dining, it can be found near Seabrook. You just have to know where to look. To help your culinary quest, I’m attempting to list the restaurants that I know of near Seabrook and Kiawah.

Whether you live in the Lowcountry or are just visiting, it is always a good idea to call the restaurant first. Operating hours change frequently and restaurants do go out of business (we lost two old favorites in 2008—Cindy’s and Chez Fish).

Seabrook Island Restaurants:

Inside the Seabrook gate, the Seabrook Island Club operates the only food establishments . Currently, the Island House and Bohicket's Lounge are open.

Directly outside the Seabrook gate, one can find Red Sky. Red Sky has reopened last fall under new ownership. Chef Matt Bolus appears to be bringing some food and beverage creativity to Seabrook.

Kiawah Island: Some of Kiawah's restaurants are restructioning in 2009 in hopes of offering diners better selection and service at various price points. To see a list of the current restaurants on Kiawah, click here.Main and Maybank:
